The high quality of the products and manufacturing in accordance with ISO 9001 ensure reliable monitoring of your plant. In production, the switches are traced by quality assurance software at every step and subsequently are 100 % tested. In order to ensure as flexible operation as possible, the temperature switches are fitted with micro switches, which enable the switching of an electrical load of up to AC 250 V, 15 A directly. For lower switching power ratings, such as for PLC applications, micro switches with gold-plated contacts can be selected as an option.

Subsequent adjustment of the set point on site is made using the adjustment screw, which is covered by the access cover plate with lead seal option. Repeatability of the set point ≤ 1 % of span Example Setting range: 40 ... 100 °C with one switch contact Repeatability: 1 % of 60 °C = 0.6 °C Dead band = 1.5 °C (see table setting range) 2 x repeatability + dead band = 2 x 0.6 °C + 1.5 °C = 2.7 °C Rising temperature: Adjust set point between 42.7 ... 100 °C. Falling temperature: Adjust set point between 40 ... 97.3 °C. Please specify: Set point, switching direction for the contact, e.g.: Set point: 50 °C, rising After unscrewing the access cover plate, set point adjustment can be made using the adjustment screw. The set point is selectable within the entire setting range. For optimal performance we suggest to adjust the set point between 25 ... 75 % of the setting range.

The insertion length is adjustable between Ymin and Ymax (see table). Example Capillary length K: 2 m Setting range: 40 ... 100 °C (SAMA class IIC) Stem ∅ D: 9.5 mm Minimum insertion length Ymin = 100 mm Maximum insertion length Ymax = 350 mm Adjustable insertion length Y = 100 ... 350 mm The capillary length is reduced accordingly. Maximum capillary reduction K¯ = Ymax - Ymin = 350 – 100 = 250 mm Minimum capillary length Kmin = K - K¯ = 2,000 – 250 = 1,750 mm Due to the adjustable insertion length (Y) of 100 ... 350 mm, the resulting capillary length (K) varies between 2.0 ... 1.75 m.

Thermowell In principle, the operation of a mechanical temperature switch without a thermowell is possible with low process-side loading (low pressure, low viscosity and low flow velocities). However, in order to enable exchanging the temperature switch during operation (e.g. instrument replacement or calibration) and to ensure a better protection of the instrument and also the plant and the environment, it is advisable to use a thermowell from the extensive WIKA thermowell portfolio. For further information on the calculation of the thermowell, see Technical information IN 00.15.
